Duplicate of Chinatowns in Canada and the United States with the latter having significiantly more page views and better sourcing less OR etc. Gaijin42 (talk) 14:24, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: I don't think the nominator has considered merge or redirect as options. It makes sense to have something at that title; it more closely follows the nomenclature of List of Chinatowns than the other article does.  Also, there are significant numbers of Chinatowns in the United States that U.S. and Canada should have separate articles, titled List of Chinatowns in the United States and List of Chinatowns in Canada, rather than being lumped into one article  p  b  p  14:29, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I believe both of those are acceptable outcomes from an AFD? Gaijin42 (talk) 14:33, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * TBH, the reason I picked the Canada and US version over the nominated version was due to Template:Chinatown which is a nav template pointing to the CA&US version. It really doesnt matter which one sticks around, but they are clearly duplicate of eachother. Gaijin42 (talk) 14:37, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * While they are acceptable, you don't need an AfD to do them. Merge and redirect Chinatowns in Canada and the United States to List of Chinatowns in the United States and List of Chinatowns in Canada, and obviously change the navbox links to reflect that  p  b  p  14:38, 2 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge intelligently per the above. We don't really need an AfD for that unless someone objects... Jclemens (talk) 02:21, 3 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect. Carrite (talk) 04:19, 3 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep and merge in only US content, move Canada content to a Canada page and delete Chinatowns in US & Canada as very irregular and non-standard for an article, for every other "by country" topic we use either "X...in the United States" or for a larger region, "X...in North America", by not for pairs of countries such as "X...in the Czech Republic and Slovakia" or "X...in the nations of the Mercosur trade bloc"LuciferWildCat (talk) 21:47, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree...pretty much what I said above. I am probably going to propose a split at the merged-to page when this AfD is over  p  b  p  22:48, 3 August 2012 (UTC)


 * merge as above, after which a decision can be taken whether Chinatowns in Canada and the United States is too long and needs splitting.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 23:48, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to Chinatowns in Canada and the United States --Artene50 (talk) 08:09, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge as suggested: redundant. Bearian (talk) 20:43, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge try to keep as much from this article intact on the other page. Way too valuable to delete.--T1980 (talk) 20:21, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
